If you brought your own food, you can eat it somewhere away from their grounds. We will sit in the restaurant and enjoy lunch together. Food and drink are not included in the tour price here, as to give you more freedom to enjoy whatever you choose for your lunch. They offer a wide variety of fantastic food here and cater for all dietary requirements.
"With a menu full of Modern Australian and European inspired dishes, Quarters is perfect for foodies, families, and everyone in between. Think succulent steaks, vibrant local veg, and delicate, flaky fish.
Feeling extra hungry? Try some pasta, handmade on site, and our incredible (yes, incredible) woodfired pizza, unlike any others in the region. Lucky everyone has a second stomach for dessert, because our dedicated team of pastry chefs will tempt anyone with a sweet tooth."

Domaine Chandon

On the way to lunch, we can pull into Chandon, Yarra Valley's home of sparkling wine. There is no tasting or booking here. It is just a quick stop before lunch to grab a bottle of their famous sparkling wine from their shop or to snap one of the most picturesque photos of the day.
You can have lunch here if you would like, instead of Hubert Estate, but you will have to contact us to ask us what time you will need to book your table at Chandon.
